No wonder the wars have continued – without pause – since WWI, the “war to end all wars”: the lessons have still not been learned. That much was evident in French President Emmanuel Macron’s speech over the weekend, blaming nationalism and populism for the war. In fact, the real reasons are far different and provide a stark warning for our times: a declining power (UK) sought to prevent a rising power (Germany) from presenting an economic threat to the old order. The parallels with our time, where the “unipolar moment” with the US at the apex has begun to fade and with that fade have come endless US threats against rising powers like Russia and China. Isn’t there a better way than war? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

President Trump’s acceptance of his Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ “resignation” letter has caused a paroxysm of protest among the #resistance movement who see impeachment just around the corner. Suddenly a Jeff Sessions they have despised since his appointment is the linchpin of US democracy! Is it all about politics and nothing about policy? Is the “war at home” getting all the more dangerous? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

What will be the result of the “blue ripple” of the Democrat majority in the House and the resulting split government? Will we see “gridlock” as many pundits are predicting? Unfortunately, when it comes to warfare and welfare (especially corporate welfare), the two parties are more alike than at odds. Look for “compromise” moves that will increase spending on militarism and welfareism. More in today’s Liberty Report:

There was plenty of noise in the run up to today’s mid-term election in the US, but were there any real differences when it comes to substantive issues? Or was it all about manufactured outrages designed to motivate people to support this or that tribe with no real thought? Was there any real debate on war? Privacy? NSA spying? None at all! The most important election in our lifetime? Ha! Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

The Trump Administration is determined to bring Iran to its knees. With a new round of “crippling” sanctions targeting any country doing business with Iran, is the US just isolating itself from the rest of the world? Is it hastening the end of “dollar hegemony” that US foreign policy has to this point sought to prop up? Is the law of unintended consequences about to bite hard? Today’s Liberty Report was recorded before a live audience at Brazosport College in Lake Jackson, TX:

Should we even bother to vote with the duopoly serving up the same stale dish each two years? How should the immigration “crisis” be handled? Troops on the border? End birthright citizenship? Is income tax such a bad thing? Ron Paul takes viewer questions in today’s Liberty Report:

The 2018 US intelligence community budget saw its biggest increase in ten years and is now higher than it has ever been. President Trump’s backers often claim that he’s in Washington to fight the deep state, but it doesn’t get more “deep state” than the US intelligence community. How to explain this massive increase? Do they think we are safer and more free with an even larger spy network watching us and meddling in the rest of the world’s affairs? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

According to a new study by the University of Sussex, the 10,000 civilian dead in the Yemen war is hugely understated. The actual number of civilians killed since the Saudi attacks started in 2015 may be as high as 80,000. And on top of that, 50,000 children die each year from preventable illnesses related to the war. Why does the US continue to act as an accomplice in this massacre? Will Congress finally step up and put a stop to it? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

Those who work to stifle free speech and particularly anti-establishment speech have rushed to exploit the tragic murders in Pittsburgh to further their agenda. Government officials and ex-government officials are increasingly pressuring social media companies to restrict speech. Is it an attack-by-proxy on the First Amendment? Is social media and free speech to blame for the actions of a deranged murderer? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

What happened when one Mexican town chock-full of drug gangs and corrupt politicians finally had enough? They banded together to kick them both out. It’s not a Hollywood western, it was real life back in Cheran, Mexico in 2011. Independent investigative reporter Luke Rudowski traveled down to see how they were able to ban gangs and politicians and vastly improve the quality of life in this Mexican city of 30,000. He even made a film about it. Luke joins us to talk about this, the bizarre “bomb scare” sweeping the country, and about the struggles of the independent media in today’s Liberty Report:

Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman is key to the Middle East strategy of both the US and Israel. Keeping focus on regime change for Iran is the main goal of all three countries. That is why we are seeing a push to cover-up the likely complicity of MbS in the crime and instead blame 18 of his closest aides for a “rogue operation.” Will they get away with it? It’s looking likely. Should they? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

The media reports that some 14,000 people are marching from Honduras through Guatemala through Mexico to the US. They are supposed to arrive just in time for the US election in early November. Is this a political stunt? A genuine mass migration? What are the factors that may have led to such an event and what should we do about it? Troops on the border? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
